Many times there were cars stopped along the side of the road and people were out taking photos and playing in the snow.

| Such contrast, cactus and snow! |
 |
| The cactus must be thinking, what is all this white stuff? |
 |
| Snow caps on the Saguaro cactus |
We turned on to Route 188 and made our way to Roosevelt Lake. I don't think it's often when there is snow visible from this lake.
 |
| Oh no, another truck photo! |
 |
| Our picnic spot and view. It was a little too cold to sit outside. |
Then we came upon Tonto National Monument. With our National Park yearly pass it was free to stop so we did.
The hike up to the monument was on a steep path but the views were so worth it!
It sure was a pretty day and we enjoyed the scenery enhanced with snow!
Now let's get to some warm weather and get spring training games started!
So Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for leaving a comment.
ReplyDeleteIt was fantastic to see cactus covered in snow, out in the desert. We always get to see them in the heat and this was the first time for us to see them covered in snow.
ReplyDeleteYou know it is something special when you have to sit in your car in the desert to keep warm ... unreal!
DeleteVery cool, I like the picture of the cactus, mountain and clouds ... so neat! And is Ford sponsoring this blog? The picture of your truck looks like a Ford ad ... Ha! Thanks for taking me along for the ride...
ReplyDeleteI know huh, Ford should be a sponsor of our blog! It was a beautiful day. Imagine all the photos we took and trying to select just some for the blog! Thanks so much for your encouragement of the blog.
DeleteNice photos! Love the snow covered cactus. Not something we get to see often! Missing you guys!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joie! Loving your new stained glass door. We're missing you guys too. We'll have lots of stories to share the next time our paths cross.
